Messrs. Colby and Powers, trustees
for the Yankton insane asylum, say
that there IS no truth whatever in the
charges of corruption that have been
SO circulated for partisan and selfish
motives. All the funds that have
come into their hands have been dis
bursed for the uses Of the. asylum
maintenance, improvements, etc., and
the use OF funds appropriated for one
purpose to another amounts to
nothing, as it was all necessarily
used for the benefit of the institution.
Under all the wild clamor and charges
that have been made, they are con.
scious of a faithful performance OF
duty. They are ready to answer all
charges that may be officially made5
and to convince the public of the in.
tegrity of their official conduct.
